The Burning Man Project :: Welcome Home


	Updated January 27, 2010
	2010 Art Theme: Metropolis Tumult and change, churning cycles of invention and destruction - these forces generate the pulse of urban life. Great cities are organic, spontaneous, heterogeneous, and untidy hubs of social interaction. In 2010, we will inspect the daily course of city life and the future prospect of civilization. What Is Burning Man? Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Learn more about this incredible experience through our First Timers' Guide, our mission statement and Ten Principles. Burning Man 2010 Ticket Information Tickets for Burning Man are now on sale, including low income and scholarship tickets. Need more info? Here you go. Want to Volunteer?
